It's not just hyenas that're filled with laughter
If it’s a good old belly chuckle you’re after
Then go and watch Dennis
Who's useless at tennis
But tells everyone he's Pat Rafter.
“I preferred my version” Spike said
At the same time scratching the head.
"It was fuller, profound,
Far more pleasant in sound...
And I deserve I nice break in the Med"
I don't think there's been a problem thus far, but as per the
Circus guidelines could I just remind everyone to think carefully about name-checking other Shipmates? It's not always easy to read the tone and hurt feelings can result.
It looks like the summer is done
And we’ll soon say goodbye to the sun
But hello to the breezes
And weather that freezes
This thread has froze, excuse the pun.
T'would be a shame for the thread to freeze
Even though Miffy has knocking knees
Raptor Eye is a-quiver
With many a shiver,
But is he a bit hard to please?
Can a Limerick end with a question?
Can a Limerick end with a question?
Or perhaps a helpful suggestion?
Or even a drink,
Not to pour down the sink,
But to quaff to aid one's digestion?
Does a question mark aid comprehension?
Does a question mark aid comprehension?
Well, it offers a different dimension
It causes the brain
To get working again
But be left in a state of suspension?
There was once a brain of great size
Which gave a strange bulge to the eyes
But this cerebral swelling
Was not so compelling
That it got you to credit its lies.
So tomorrow Betty O'Leary
[tangent]Ms Truss, as of yesterday, the UK's latest Prime Minister.[/tangent]
There was once a pig with three legs
Who fancied a coffee at Greggs,
With hot toast and butter,
And to match with each trotter,
No bacon of course, but three eggs.
Will Betty be P.M. for long?
Will Betty be P.M. for long?
Don't think so, but I could be wrong.
Her clothes are all pressed
She's much better dressed
She thinks she's in line for a gong

Thanks, @Enoch - despite following politics quite closely, I managed to miss that little nugget about our new, not-so-glorious leader ...

We've now got a PM called Lizzy
A large fluffy cat called Molly
Had a wrinkly old owner called Polly
But Molly’s sharp claws
Exercised on Polly’s doors
Till Polly lashed out with a brolly

Will be feeling so tired and weary

Three things she can pray
In a spiritual way
And so follow Thee more nearly
Who's Betty O'Leary?

Like Boris was when
Thrown out of number ten
But he isn't coming back, is 'e?
Was out in a terrible storm
Was out in a terrible storm
Lightning did flash
And thunder crash
And he wished she were keeping him warm
Found that loo roll had gone from her bog
She followed the trail
All over the dale
To find the pup listening to prog
Had a wrinkly old owner called Polly

But Molly’s sharp claws
Exercised on Polly’s doors
Till Polly lashed out with a brolly
A small tabby cat called Wayne
Was caught out in a shower of rain
Was caught out in a shower of rain
He shook all four paws
And ran back indoors

And ran back indoors.
He did not go back out again.
